We salute the Junior League of Miami (a volunteer organization of close to 1,000 women) and its new leadership for the coming year. From their annual Women Who Make a Difference awards banquet and the yearly Golf Tournament, the Junior League of Miami’s memorable fundraising activities directly benefit their community ventures. Their projects focus on families at risk of homelessness, violence, children's and women's health, early childhood education and foster care.
